you'll probably hate the rest of it too. learn a trade, read some good books, etc. dont waste your life with programming. having said all that, maybe get into embedded devices, electronics, etc and learn some c to interface with them.

if you really want to code.

Need to get motivation.

Play that.

literally just code something
don't start with coding
start with an idea. it can and should be simple and well enough defined. then from your head, put it on paper. pseudocode. finally, you code it up. if you can't think of a single thing you want to do (custom image filters, cellular automata, functions your calculator doesn't have, processing some dataset) then maybe coding isn't for u

that's pretty interesting. Thanks anon

The job market isn't great so I would recommend doing something else with your time.

youve got to find passion in something, either something that you really want for yourself or something that pisses you off so bad you want to remake it to not be turbo-shit.

Example being I got so pissed off over shitty UI that I decided to make a "blog" that follows good UI/UX practices just to prove it to myself that it could be done in a reasonable amount of time. didnt even make but like 3 blogs but it was worth doing.

Get the C language book or some Rust book, whichever you feel like learning. Get the basics of the language down, writing and compiling Hello World, using data types, using arrays, for loops and while loops, etc.
Once you have the basics down, read pic related and do all of the coding exercises using whatever language you choose. Chapters 1 and 2 are important but 3 and 4 will actually have you writing code for very useful data structures and algorithms.
There's gonna be a struggle at the start, just push through it for like 2 weeks, you have the advantage of learning in an age where ChatGPT is basically a professor you can ask questions to with immediate feedback at any time ("How do I compile my C code into an executable", not "solve this problem for me")
That'll be a good start I think. Dont worry about not being sure what to make just yet, applying the things you learn is super important but at the start you just need to get used to writing the language. Doing practice problems with foundational concepts will be super useful for you long term

wow, thank you
